How She Died, How I Lived by Mary CrockettRelease date: November 13th, 2018
Amazon / Book Depository / Indiebound
Summary (from goodreads): I was one of five. The five girls Kyle texted that day. The girls it could have been. Only Jamie--beautiful, saintly Jamie--was kind enough to respond. And it got her killed.
On the eve of Kyle's sentencing a year after Jamie's death, all the other "chosen ones" are coping in various ways. But our tenacious narrator is full of anger, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to live, while Jamie is dead.
Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend--knowing all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been you instead?
The part where I talk: I requested this on Edelweiss and I got rejected hard XD But this sounds amazing, so I'm still excited about it, of course.
This one does not lend itself well to a question to ask you all. Um. Oh! If you like scented candles, what's your favourite candle scent?
Peace and cookies,
Laina
